The Regional Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula announced Monday the opening of its Youth Crisis Stabilization Unit.
In March, CHOMP opened a Crisis Stabilization Unit to serve adults experiencing mental health crises. This space was designed for patients who need mental health support but do not require hospitalization. A trained staff member conducts specialized short-term interventions to address and ideally resolve mental health crises in patients.
“People in a mental health crisis may have suicidal thoughts, severe stressors in their home or life that are difficult to cope with, or co-occurring problems with mental illness or substance use,” says Crisis. Department Director Dr. Veronica Searles Quick said. “They often need therapeutic support, periods of rest, and space to recuperate.”
The opening of the Youth Crisis Stabilization Unit will ensure that patients under the age of 17 receive the same level of care in moments of crisis. The youth division is partially staffed by Ohana, Montage Health’s youth mental and behavioral health program. Designed with the patient in mind, this space allows you to:
- Group and individual therapy sessions
- clinical consultation
- meeting with family
- interaction between patients
- Rest and the “quiet room”
